Ofcourse we can get it from their merit counts but if there is another rank with 2500 merits or 5000 merits criteria which will give the recognition for their contribution and also differentiate from 1K members, anyway I don't think theymos is interested in adding ranks but I just expressed what I would like to see.
I sure hope theymos doesn't consider adding more ranks. So many people take this forum way too seriously (just remember those silly self-congratulatory topics that are thankfully not so popular anymore) and adding more ranks will just create extra craziness in that regard.
I completely agree! The idea of more ranks just seems like it would create more unnecessary competition and hierarchy on the forum. I think we should avoid these pitfalls and continue building a community where everyone feels welcome. It's important to remember that at the end of the day, we're all just people sharing and discussing ideas online and trying to learn from each other. It's always better to focus on the content of our posts and discussions rather than getting caught up in the ranks and status symbols.
